Description

A crowd-pleasing appetizer that combines the flavors of shrimp and lump crab meat in a creamy, savory dip.


Ingredients

  • ½ cup chopped fresh tomatoes
  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 1 small yellow onion
  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat, then add the onion and tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 4 minutes until softened.
  3. Add shrimp and garlic, cooking for another 4 minutes until the shrimp turns pink and cooked through.
  4. In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, crab meat, lemon juice, paprika, and parmesan cheese (or nutritional yeast) until well combined.
